Kominfo has recently banned access to several well-liked gaming websites in Indonesia. These include Steam, Origin, Epic Games, and Battle.net. This ban also prevents access to popular games like Dota 2 and CS:GO on these platforms. Fear not! VCGamers provides a method to bypass blocked access to Steam and other gaming services for Vicigers determined to continue using the platform.
In this article, we will explore how to bypass region locks on gaming platforms like Steam, Origin, and Epic Games in order to access geo-blocked games like Dota 2 and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.
How to Unblock Kominfo's Block on Steam
Get DNSCrypt and set it up.
Simply put, DNSCrypt is a piece of software that sets up a dnscrypt-proxy. This means it alters the user's DNS settings to gain access to otherwise restricted gaming sites. The open-source nature of the software ensures that it is free from vulnerabilities.
Some Vicigers use macOS, while others prefer Windows. The DNSCrypt software has been updated to a newer version. The Windows version of Simple DNSCrypt can be found [here](https://simplednscrypt.org/), and for macOS, you can get it [here](https://github.com/alterstep/dnscrypt-osxclient).
DNSCrypt must be installed and activated by Vicigers after downloading. The software can be started from its main page.
The DNSCrypt Tutorial
Activating DNSSEC is straightforward. Please refer to the image above as you follow the instructions below. First, make sure the box labeled "Using IPv6 Server" is checked. Next, press the button in the upper-right corner to activate the DNSCrypt service.
Finally, select the network logo or network card used by Vicigers. The DNS settings will change immediately, granting access to previously blocked gaming sites. You will now be able to play Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and Dota 2, both of which Kominfo has blocked.
